The dragonfly, the water
And the ancient willow tree
A beautiful body of spirit
No different from you and me
So why I hear you ask
Do we stop to stand in awe
At the nature stood before us
Yet at ourselves we only flaw?
What if we could remember
That we're not a speck of dust
No matter how we've been treated
Shining our light remains a must
We might have grown so bitter
And live with a heavy heart
Or even turned so far away
We're at a loss with where to start
But she was always there beside you
And knew you'd be back someday
When you noticed it's not outside you
And she asks for you to stay
You have a choice within each moment
To be in love or be in fear
So why not try surrender
To let her hold you near
I know the dark is messy
And a daunting place to be
So sit with me a moment
Beneath this willow tree
With her roots to really hold you
Toes dipped in the stream
Notice how the colours change
When you allow yourself to dream
Except this is no fantasy
Nor figment of the mind
No this is the beauty of the universe
Of which you are designed
So take this along with you
When you next might need the guide
To choose a life of love and joy
With the universe by your side
